Anthem Rainey St. - Austin

Atmosphere is what attacks you here. But service falls short compared to the prices you pay. Server never checked how our meal was or asked if we needed new drinks. It wasn't a busy night either there were 3 other tables outside. Food was mediocre. Edamame almost inedible and so charred. Karage chicken so dried. This was convenient to our hotel and so many reviews. However, it's really a place for young patrons who have been drinking a while and don't appreciate good food. Of all the food in Austin, this really fell short.

We came late at night but service was still AMAZING. I don’t remember our servers name but she was a big help we’re new to town so she helped us find places to go and areas to look at in Austin. Hooked us up with a free drink and appetizer overall great vibes and great food. If you go there try the aloha burger !!Food: 5/5

The reason for the 4 stars is that we were the only people in the restaurant. I can not give a review on the atmosphere. We got vegetarian food. Two of us got a burger and I got the noodle salad with tofu. I was told the burgers were very good and moist. (A lot of times it's hard to get a fake burger moist the fries were seasoned well and were good, hot and crisp. Roasted cauliflower had a flavorful sauce on them. They were not over cooked. My noodles were delicious. I did not like the texture of the tofu. The flavor was great but it was not firm tofu so when you bit into the chunk it was soft and mushy on the inside. That is a texture thing for me so not really on them. We all got water so no review on drinks however, for someone who is not a fan of dessert the pineapple cake and ice cream thing (sorry anthem I don't remember what it was called was out of this world delicious. Our server was friendly, our order was correct and the whole place was clean. There is a bar area along with regular dining. A patio with fans and misters (looked very nice but it was July in Texas so we did not try it. There was also a little area that kind of looked like a lounge area off of the bar. Great place to have after work get together if you are already downtown.Vegetarian options: There are not a whole bunch of options but the ones they have look very good and the ones we got were delicious.Parking: The garage around the corner is mostly for the apartments above the restaurant so not a bunch of spots. They are for mid to small cars. Hard for truck or suv. Price is not bad for downtown Austin.

Pu Pu platter was great! Mai Tai on tap, say what?! Cool bartenders. Loud DJ.

Delicious! The brisket tacos were amazing! Definitely a great brunch spot!
